Famous quotes containing the words geographical and/or spread:

    Men’s private self-worlds are rather like our geographical world’s seasons, storm, and sun, deserts, oases, mountains and abysses, the endless-seeming plateaus, darkness and light, and always the sowing and the reaping.
    Faith Baldwin (1893–1978)

    To-night she will spread her brown hair on his pillow,
    But I shall be hearing the harsh cries of wild fowl.
    Patrick MacDonogh (1902–1961)
